I've been given lugol's iodine by my doctor for low thyroid function. Each time I have tried this (just 4 drops), I have coincidentally gotten a reaction. I feel hyped up, nervous, heart palpitations.

I stopped for about a week or more and then just tried it again yesterday and same thing happened. It carried on through to today and what I also noticed was metal taste, feelings of wanting to cry (similar when I used to get mercury detox). I can FEEL the metals. I had a recent exposure to mercury from being in a dental office (note, I do not have amalgams, was in for composite replacement with ceramic). I do not excrete toxins properly, I hold them in, which is why I STAY sick.

I am wondering whether either my iodine was in excess (as it was also in a supplement Im taking daily), OR it has somehow shifted metals around. This is not die off. I know what die off feels like and if anything my yeast is an ongoing battle. But I can literally feel metals trying to force their way out.

This has only been happening since these dental visits.....so I feel it is related to mercury. I've been ill anyway with infections, low immunity and have struggled yeast because of that, but the symptoms were nothing like this.

So I don't know what's up. But I'm guessing it's combination of iodine stirring metals, plus possibly being a wee bit in excess of what my body can handle right now...not sure which.
